Hello Guys!!

Please find the version 10 with window theme selector.

It is easy you can change your themes with making your own window theme (tar.gz file)

Example of themes are located here: http://ironphoenix.org/tril/fvwm/configs/fvwm-theme/

Enjoy !!

I post you a screenshot with the fvwm theme selector.

on Lubuntu and when I log out and try FVWM it does not look anything like yours, just ordinary FVWM.

How do I get it to look right ?

Please find the version 18.2, very close to mac

Use gtk-chtheme into the main menu (left click on root or right flag on the keyboard)

http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Mac+OS+X+FVWM%5BGold+v18.2%5D%2B50+Powertools%21?c ontent=127893

Fvwm is really nice environment !

[frenchn00b]

Almost version 20.
Now the top bar is very much nicer

You can also use a mac keyboard with it:


rm -rf $HOME/.fvwm

get the tar.gz
then
You simply then unpack, and run fvwm from your gdm or change .xinitrc then type startx


cd ; tar xvpfz locationofthetargz.tar.gz

and that's it you have a mac

I attach you the compatible keyboard !
Nothing to configure !! This app does all, or asks you about what you wanna set.

I've obviously missed the point of this, but what is this thing supposed to do?

The title is maybe a bit wrong, since it is a themes. Ok, the features, it does a lot of things which is embedded themes. Otherwise the purpose of the configuration are destined to be close or superior to windows 2000 and mac os x at the same time. It has numerous improvements since it has the FVWM "core" which leaves much more functionality as the two later.

It is destined for both purposes:
- work (shared library, Desktop, and lot of bindings to work faster..)
- home, leisure, pictures, videos...

I just made a screenshot.
The config. holds now the version 36.0

I wish you a pleasant weekend, thomas.

[Skara Brae]

Is that for PPC's or "Intel Macs"?

I have a "1st Generation" iMac G5 (anno 2004), running "Tiger". So, a PPC.
